Chip Roy Slams GOP Bill, Doubts Passage by July 4: Reactions Mixed
Texas Representative Chip Roy, a member of the House Rules Committee, is withholding support for the GOP tax and spending bill, criticizing the Senate for failing to address spending cuts. Roy views the bill, which includes $4 trillion in tax cuts and could increase the federal deficit by nearly $3.3 trillion, as a betrayal of conservative principles. Despite President Trump’s deadline for passing the bill, Roy believes its chances of passing in its current form are slim, while Republican leaders remain confident in their ability to gain support.
